Quality signing imo. Just hope he doesn't cause any problems in the locker room. We still need a backup for Demps and some left back depth amongst other things.
Left back is hard to fill though or we would already have one. We do have 3 players that can play left back. Leo Remick and scott.
It might be just me but I shudder when I think of Scott or Remick playing left back for us. It is hard to find a left back on top of the salary restrictions but definitely a spot we could fill.
Leo is our starting LB and was solid last season. Is there really a reason for us to go out and get a new LB at this point? Remick should be fine as a backup LB.
Well we could have done worse. The off season has been interesting wonder how it will all shake out this is a near total team makeover.
Update to camp roster. I removed Joseph from list cause he has no future with the team and most likely will be bought out although a trade could be possible. 1. MF Osvaldo Alonso (DP) 2. FW Will Bates (off budget) 3. MF Alex Caskey (off budget) 4. MF/FW Clint Dempsey(DP) 5. MF/FW David Estrada (off budget) 6. MF Brad Evans 7. GK Josh Ford (off budget) 8. GK Stefan Frei 9. DF Leonardo Gonzalez 10. GK Marcus Hahnemann 11. FW Kenny Cooper 12. MF/FW Tristan Bowen 13. MF Marco Pappa 14. DF Chad Marshall 15. FW Obafemi Martins(DP/I) 16. MF/FW Lamar Neagle 17. DF Dylan Remick (off budget) 18. MF Andy Rose (off budget) 19. DF Zach Scott 20. MF Djimi Traore (I) 21. DF DeAndre Yedlin (HGP) 22. DF/FW Eriq Zavaleta (GA) 23. FW Chad Barrett 24. DF Jalil Anibaba 25. MF Aaron Kovar (HGP) 26. FW Sean Okoli 27. DF Damion Lowe (GA) Unsigned 1. MF Fabio Pereira 2. MF Stefano Rijssel, 3. MF Michael Azira, 4. MF Dzenan Catic, 5. MF Tarek Morad 6. MF Jason Morrison 7. FW Miguel Gonzalez 8. MF/FW Kevin Parsemain 9. FW Long Tan 10.DF Jimmy Ockford 11. GK John McCarthy
Roster is shaping up nicely. Still a little heavy on forwards and light midfielders. Hopefully, Kovar can step in and give some good minutes here and there. Worried about our depth at CB. After Marshall, we'll be relying on two of these guys to contribute heavily: an aging Traore, an unproven Anibaba at CB anyways, Zack Scott, and two rookies.
Not really. Some of the forwards can play in the midfield. We have 3 roster spots open (since Joseph is on the way out) with potentially 2 more could be open (bates and estrada)
I'm interested in seeing how Bowen fits in. I think he could become a great player for us. I'd almost like to see a 4411 although not sure Bowen would fit as a RM instead of a forward RW. -------Oba----------- ------Demps-------- Pap-Oz--Evans-Bow
That's not what it is going to be. Martins and Cooper will play up top and Dempsey will play CAM with evans at RM.
I am following the Sounders this year cuz of Marco Pappa. Anyway in other news he may be serving up goals to Dempsy and Drogba http://blogs.seattletimes.com/sound...-looking-to-sign-didier-drogba-in-the-summer/
The Sounders have said that was just a rumor. While that isn't on the Hanauer Transfer Rumor Advisory System, I'd give it a greenish-yellow
Drogba is old. I would rather we go find the next Fredy Montero. And if the Drogba thing is true it means someone is on their way out the door, likely Martins. No thanks....
As good as Drogba is, no thanks. Saw some of the preseason game against San Jose, and it only added more excitement for March to come. We also lost out on Benji Joya's lottery to Chicago. He would have worked in Dempsey's position.
I agree on Drogba. He's a good player, but we don't need to be the place where people come to retire like a lot of other teams seem happy with.
Wow.. I was expecting the Sounders odds (29%) to be much lower than they actually were.. I guess it makes sense because the only three clubs that entered were relatively close to each other in the standings.
Yeah game footage from 2014.... Why off season so damn long http://www.mlssoccer.com/video/2014...rthquakes-vs-seattle-sounders-february-5-2014
what is the status of the GrownAssMan allocation money we got from DC??? i was under the impression we still had the possibility to use it to buy down Ozzie's contract to below DP level, thus allowing another DP signing...
